Australia Sees Major Anti-Israel Protests During Herzog’s Visit

Many thousands have swarmed Flinders Street in Melbourne in a mass protest against Israeli President Isaac Herzog, who made appearances across the city today as he concluded his Australian visit.

Hawzah News Agency- Flinders Street was blocked to trams and traffic as demonstrators marched down Swanston Street to parliament, accusing Herzog of being a war criminal. Victoria Police said about 10,000 people had gathered outside Flinders Street Station whilst organisers put the number at 30,000.

"We are here today because our government has invited someone who is on trial for incitement of genocide against a population of 2 million besieged Palestinians in Gaza'', organiser Noura Mansour said.

"We reject this visit, we reject genocide and we reject the very values that this unwelcomed guest represent''.

"We have an international war criminal that is being currently protected by our local boys. It's a problem'', one protester said.
